Wiki's
Wikis seem to be a great way to get students to learn about online cooperation and how to use the internet and networking sites professionally. The greatest lesson that students can learn is that they can't use the same text and word choices with professional wikis that they may use with their social networking sites. When I begin using wikis -- I will remind students about our school's acceptable use policy and the difference between social and professional networking.
Possible applications: subject guides, note-taking skills, essay writing and editing, reader's advisories, book clubs.

Is anyone else here reading “I.T. WARS”? It's a natural for educators and students, and is used at University of Wisconsin. I had to read parts of this book as part of my employee orientation at a new job. The book talks about a whole new culture as being necessary – an eCulture – for a true understanding of a "business-technology weave." It has great chapters on security, risk, project management, content management, acceptable use, disaster recovery (rebranded as disaster awareness, preparedness and recovery), policies, and so on. Just Google “IT WARS” – check out a couple links down and read the interview with the author David Scott. (Full title is “I.T. WARS: Managing the Business-Technology Weave in the New Millennium”).
